Step 1: Choose Your Deck Stain Color
Choosing the right Wood Stains can make or break your wood staining project. Before you apply your wood stain you need to think about the overall theme of your existing exterior decor, as well as the look you are going for.
With so many Wood Stains to choose from, here are some general suggestions on how to highlight your wood when getting ready to apply stain:
-
Wood stain colors should complement the surrounding landscape
-
Wood stains should match other exterior wood surfaces, like a shed or your patio furniture
-
Use a neutral wood stain color that looks good with any background or décor

Step 2: Clean Your Deck Before Applying A Deck Stain Color
Next, you'll need to clean the wood surface you are planning to apply stain to. The cleaner your wooden surface, the better and more consistent your wood stain will look. For first timer's who have not applied stain before, use a deck cleaner like Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner to remove dirt and stains from your wood that may have been caused by mildew, algae or mold.
After you apply the wood cleaner, scrub your deck with a mop that has stiff, hard bristles. Once you've scrubbed the deck, wash away the residue with a pressure washer, using low to moderate pressure. Allow your deck to dry before moving on to the next step of this How To Apply Stain guide.

Step 3: Applying The Deck Stain Color To Your Deck
If you are staining your deck or wood surface with a clear wood sealant, a wood toner, or a semi-transparent wood stain, apply one thin coat with a high-quality brush or sprayer.
For solid color wood stains, apply two thin coats with a paint brush or a paint roller. To ensure that you do not get lap marks with solid color wood stain, apply it to just a few of your deck's boards at a time and keep a wet edge so that the stain blends well.

Step 4: Backbrushing The Deck Stain Color
Now that you have applied stain to all of the major surfaces of your wood it is time to backbrush. Backbrushing is the act of forcing the brush or roller a bit rougher into the surface so that all parts of the wood, including the joints, edges, seams, and ends get the same coverage of wood stain as the flat areas of your deck.
How To Apply Deck Stain Color Tip: By pushing the stain-coated brush in between each board you are making sure there are no areas visibly uncolored by the stain product.
Once you have completed backbrushing, allow your deck to fully dry before moving any furniture onto the surface.
